Center for Structural Biology

The Center for Structural Biology is a multi-disciplinary center for experimental investigations designed to examine the structural and functional characteristics of biological macromolecules and how these changes in these properties relate to specific diseases. Projects currently under investigation are examining the underlying mechanisms for alcoholism, cancer, diabetes, liver and heart disease.

The Center for Structural Biology is currently comprised of the following faculty members from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology:

      Thomas Hurley, Ph.D.- Center Director
      William Bosron, Ph.D.- Co-Investigator
      Zhong-Yin Zhang, Ph.D. - Co-Investigator and Chair of the Department
      Millie Georgiadis, Ph.D. - Co-Investigator
      Qizhuang Ye, Ph.D. - Co-Investigator
      Yuichiro Takagi, Ph.D. - Co-Investigator
      Samy Meroueh, Ph.D. - Co-Investigator 

The Center for Structural Biology is currently equipped with two groups of state of art instruments:

X-Ray Crystallography
The instrument pictured on the right is a RAXIS IV++ Image Plate detector for collection of X-ray diffraction data.
